Am I the only one that cannot freaking BELIEVE that the season will end for the Sox TOMORROW? Holy Buckets!!!
And with so many missing pieces, where does Theo and company even BEGIN to assembly another championship team for next year? I think the pieces are there, but adding the right ones to complement […]

As the disappointing 2006 campaign draws to a close, I thought it would be appropriate to go back 2 years, to a better time, when the Sox completed the greatest comeback in sports history (and the Skanks perpetrated the biggest CHOKE…) and became World Series Champions for the 1st time in 86 years…
Here is the […]

What a CRAPPY Birthday present for Johnny Pesky! UGH…
And while the whole dedication thing of Pesky’s Pole was a nice gesture, the ceremony was a bit lackluster…and what was up with that poem? That was almost as bad as that guy who sang that dreadful song during the WS ring ceremony in 2005. Johnny Pesky […]

When I was at Fenway last year, I had the honor of meeting this great and wonderful man and it was one of the most amazing experiences I have had as a Red Sox fan…My fiance’ and I waited on autograph row for about 45 minutes , as Johnny signed autographed pictures (provided free […]

The last time we were this far down this close to the end of the year was at the end of September 2000 (but we ended up in 2nd place anyway)…and you know what? I am not that upset about it…Would I have liked to have been in the post season? Absolutely. But it’s different […]

And if we don’t win today, we will officially be in 3rd place in the AL East..and while part of me will not be happy about THAT turn of events, another part of me almost WISHES we would end up in a different order than previous years, so then we would not have to heard […]

Throwing only the 2nd complete game the Sox have had this season (Wake had the other in April..) Julian Tavarez was nothing short of brilliant in his start (and finish) last night…His Line? I am glad you asked: 9IP, 7H, 1R/ER, 1BB/SO, throwing 99 pitches, 60 for strikes….He also had a complete game […]

Josh Beckett pitched 8 strong, and Big Papi hit TWO home runs, to bring his total to 52…to beat Minnesota to keep the dream alive–if only for one more day, as the Twin’s magic number for the wild card is 1…
Some fun Papi facts:
The 10 player in the history of the American League (105 years) […]

…by hitting his 51st home run on a 1st pitch fastball by Johan Santana in the 1st inning.
Big Papi has surpassed Jimmie Fox for the single season home run record, which has been in force since 1938…
Congrats Big Papi!
Was a a bit dusty in the house when it happened…
Addendum: How STRANGE is THIS? […]

Congratulations Big Papi! With 2 outs in the 6th inning, a homer into the center field seats, breaking the 1-1 tie and placing David Ortiz right next to Jimmie Foxx at 50–the most home runs hit by anyone who ever wore the Red Sox Uniform. “To be able to witness it day in and day […]
